Make phone ring when bluetooth is connected?

I've searched, but seems that nobody was able to find the answer.
I got a bluetooth headset that's pretty much always connected, but not always in my ear.
Problem is that phone doesn't ring (there no sound, only vibration) when there's bluetooth connected. Can I make it always ring?

My bluetooth is also always connected to my phone. What I do is that in the bluetooth settings, I uncheck the "Wireless Stereo" checkbox. In this case, my phone rings as per normal and I can still pick them up using my bluetooth.

But won't that turn off my stereo headphone functionality (i.e. stereo music)?
I got Voyager 855 which also acts as stereo headphones.

Well, you can always check the option when you need to use them as stereo headphones.

that's work.. =)
Isn't there an easier way?

Had this happen to me as well on the Voyager 855, but it started working again. See my post/resolution in thread.

I had to reboot for these setting to take effect. Other than that, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

I didn't get the phone ringtone in my wireless headphone Redmi note 5, mobile

Keep Losing Bluetooth Pairings

Anyone else seeing some odd behavior with bluetooth pairings? I keep on having to re-pair with my laptop (Win 7 64x) and my car (Audi S4). Complete pain.

I use it with my computer (Win 7 32-bit) and my Motorola bluetooth headset, no problems since I first paired each (sometime in July).

I have the same issue at times....quite frustrating and I have found no way to stop it from happening....

Yep. I get this too. My only fix has been to turn off my plantronics earpiece and when turned back on it connects.

It used to work fine for me with stock build. Now on JH3 I have the issue...

I am JH3 as well, FWIW. Dunno if JF6 gave me the same problem. I now have 3 of the same device in my Win7 BT folder. I also remember seeing the BT settings reverting to old ones.

Problem I keep on having is that the media profile, or A2DP, setting won't enable when I turn on my stereo bluetooth headset. It'll sometimes reestablish the media profile if I keep on turning off and on the bluetooth setting on the phone and headset, but most of the time I just end up having to re-pair my it. Would be awesome to know if anyone knew how to fix this.

I suppose I should just throw in there...I never had the problem with JF6. I'm running JH7 now and still have not experienced it, will report if I notice anything.

More Info
While I don't have a solution, I have researched this problem a bit.
In my experience the problem happens when I disable the phone capability of a device.
For instance, I have a pair of stereo bluetooth headphones that I can make calls with, as well as listen to music and other audio.
If I edit the profile and disable the phone function, the whole device disappears from my phone if I reboot it. If I leave the phone option enabled, it does not disappear.
Disabling the media option does not appear to have any affect as long as the phone option remains active.

My rom is stock.
The pairings don't disappear, but my motorrokr s9-hd disconnects and I have to restart the player and then press the headsets connect button. Just hitting the connect button only activates the display, but doesn't start the player. The way the headset connects just isn't right.
There are things like the headset disconnects and the browser crashing, that sometimes don't happen for days and then will happen repeatedly in minutes.
I do hope that froyo fixes some of these problems...

I have some similar problems. I have a Spracht AURA Mobile BT Speakerphone in my car and I don't use it that often but when I turn it on it doesn't seem to keep the pairing every time. It worked fine with my TouchPro on WinMo.
Another strange thing is that when it is working and I turn off the BT on the phone then come back in the car and turn it on again and it pairs, it immediately starts redialing the last number I called. VERY annoying. Fortunately I've caught it every time but I don't know why it would do that.

Bluetooth headsets no audio on 2nd day

Got my wife a TF-300 for her birthday back in May and just bought an LG HBS-700 stereo bluetooth headset for her from Amazon.com last week. Opened the headsets box, read the quick instructions and noted all I had to do was turn them on for the initial pairing. Turned BT on in the settings of the TF-300, turned on the headset, and it paired & connected fine. Tried music player & streaming TuneIn radio. All worked great. All audio apps seem to work perfectly. She used it all day Tuesday.
Then came Wednesday.
Woke up the tablet, turned on the headphones, started the streaming audio, and nothing. Checked BT connections and it showed connected. Adjusting the volume shows the BT icon, but no audio out through BT at all. Turn BT off and it plays through the speaker or external jack just fine. Turn on BT and it's gone again.
Tried everything I could think of. Un-paired and re-paired the headset several times. No help. Did a manual re-pairing, still no good. Tried the headset with 2 different cell phones and they work great. Turned WiFi off and still couldn't get any audio out through BT. Even tried playing local music and still no go.
I read the earlier models of the Transformers had numerous BT problems, but I thought they were all fixed in the 300.
Any suggestions at all?

Have you try to reset the tablet ?

Usre Nokia BT 'phones here regularly with no issues. When you say testedwith cell phones is this in call mode (mono) or HQ Audio? try deleting the device before re pairing.

Got a computer you can pair up with and try? Eliminates the headset as the problem if it works. :thumbup:
Still Charged Up

Do you mean a "Factory data reset" in the settings menu? Won't that wipe out all the apps & data I have on the tablet?
I hoped I wouldn't have to resort to that just to get BT working, especially if it's not a sure fix.

I tested the headsets on my Epic 4G and my wife's Evo 4G both in phone and HQ audio modes. Both worked great.
I tried to "delete" the headset listing by unpairing the headset then turning BT off then on. The listing disappears, but I'm not sure some of that data isn't cached somewhere. I then put the headset in pairing mode, but nothing is searched for by the pad until I turn BT off then on again. When I do it finds it and I can pair it and connect fine, but still no audio.
The play/pause/fwd/back buttons work on the headset to control the playback, just no audio out at all from the TF-300.
Really starting to bug me now.

My moto stereo headset has the same issue with the tablet. Its a bluetooth issue.
Sometimes the tablet shows connected but won't show bt icon on volume changes. I also lose audio like the op.
Only rebooting the tablet fixes it, hold power button down.
I had a TF100 that did the same thing. So I doubt its hardware, its software related. The headset worked fine when I had a iPhone.

Hard Reset This cleans system caches, but does not delete any user data.
Unplug the power cord and shut the unit off. Press and hold the VOL DOWN and then POWER button at the same time for at least 10-12 seconds until after the start-up screen appears and is joined by some small print at the top of the screen, then let them both go. If the TF booted the way it always does, you have not accomplished the task, try again until you have seen the 2 icons in the screen.
After a few seconds you should see a couple of icons in the middle of the screen called "Wipe Data" and "Android". The right "Android" will have a green highlight fading in and out. Wait a few more seconds until the term "Cold Booting Linux" appears in the list near the top of the screens and let it reboot. If you own a keyboard dock be sure you do this with the dock connected.
This process applies to all TF models, however, if your Prime or tf300 is locked up, there is a reset available using the hole just below the microSD slot, this is NOT the same as a hard reset.
I got this info from transformers forum.
The is also the factory reset but you loose all your data.

Huge thanks. The hard reset seems to have fixed it for now. We'll see how it handles it after a few on/off connections with the headset. If it turns out to be a constant problem my wife will definitely not be using the headsets as she has no patience for rebooting the tablet every time it won't connect. Hopefully it will work right from now on.
Thanks again.

Glad that i was able to help :good:

The Hard reset procedure helped me, too. I have had exactly the same problem as OP with my TF300T. I checked two my bluetooth headsets - they were both not working.
Anyway, thanks for the help.
Greg O: let me know, if the problem appears to be fixed constantly, or not.
Edit: O.K., unfortunately, this helped me temporarily. After some time of listening, sound disappeared again

is the bluetooth audio bit enabled and connected when this happens?
as in not just the device being connected, but when its connected tap the little equaliser icon next to it, and check that it says connected to media.

I have "Media audio" and "Phone audio" both enabled.
Update about my problem: Yesterday I got the Jelly Bean update OTA (Android 4.1.1) and it seems that "no sound on Bluetooth" problem was solved. I have been listening to the music for some time now and everything works fine (there is a small delay between voice and video on films, but I can live with this).
Happy now.

good to hear its working now - just in case it happens again, what i mean is to check again those settings when the sound doesn't work and make sure it says connected to media. But hopefully won't happen anyway!

Pixel 3 a Q Beta 5 Android Auto Volume Low

Anyone have issues with low volume with android auto. My 3 XL works fine, proper volume etc....But with my 3a whenever I try and play music the volume is very low. I have to turn the head unit volume all the way up to even hear it.
I tried a different cable, resetting car and phone. etc
If yours is good are you on Pie?
Thanks

Direct connection or via Bluetooth?
If Bluetooth, there is a setting in the developer settings called "Disable absolute volume". Click that and it may fix your Bluetooth volume issues.

The issue is with direct connection. Bluetooth is perfect.

Reinstalled pie.... volume is fine..... anyone on Q beta 5 have good direct connection sound in Android Auto?

Reported. Still an issue on DP6.
Edit: please star it if you experience the issue as well.

I have a Pixel 2 XL and have the exact same issue. Started having the issues in DP5 and it's continuing into DP6. I also just got my phone replaced yesterday by Google for a screen burn, so the first thing I did was update to Q and check to see if it was maybe the old phone, but nope, even with a straight from factory phone with new install of Q it's no different. Starred your post in issuetracker

Found a Reddit article with a work around for this issue. It worked for me so maybe it will work for you! In developer settings change the below Bluetooth setting to 1.6 and reboot phone and try again.

Odd a Bluetooth setting fixes USB audio routing. Audio through BT is fine in the car, only when routing through USB it is low. Will try next time I drive my in-law's car.

I agree it is odd. However after thinking about it a little when using android auto it requires your phone to be connected via bluetooth at the same time. Even if you un-pair your phone and turn off your bluetooth android auto turns bluetooth back on and pairs your phone to your car.(Atleast with mine that is)
But I have been having success since Friday now after making that change so hopefully it helps you out as well!

I saw the suggestion of that during DP5 and tried that and there was very little difference for me switching to 1.6

Question Bluetooth in my car only switches on for calls not audio

I upgraded to s22 ultra from s21. When I get into my car my Bluetooth pairs with my phone for CALLS automatically, however not for AUDIO (both connect on its own once in a while) . I have to manually go into Bluetooth settings and switch on manually. This is annoying since I have a job where I'm in and out of my car. This was never an issue with my previous phone (S21)
Things I have tried but no luck.
In Bluetooth app settings clear data.
In Bluetooth app setting unpair and delete every device in memory.
In Bluetooth agent setting - change battery saving mode to unrestricted from optimized

Hmmm that seems strange.. Maybe try making sure auto is checked in the bluetooth seetings. I have the same phone and I'm not experiencing audio issues.

maybe try running a routine for the bluetooth

There is definitely something wrong with BT in the latest firmware. I occasionally get volume drops and those are huge drops. This bug happened in one or two previous firmware too, got sorted out, but in the latest there is it again. I hope it will be fixed ASAP.

Is it a Ford ?
You have to manually select the phone in Source to play audio or anything else.
Calls take priority over any setting, so they work always without an issue.

It's an aftermarket Bluetooth added to an old Honda via peripheral plugged into the stock cd player unit. I am going to try and disconnecting the battery terminals for 30 mins so I can reset the Bluetooth unit itself.

When I have my car bluetooth device connected as "audio" only, then I have to manually connect to it from my phone.
When I have my car bluetooth device connected as "audio & calls" , then the s22 ultra connects automatically
I recall reading that audio+calls connects automatically
Audio only requires manual connection
I drive a 2017 Ford F150 but I think its not a Ford issue
